The last post talked about how “the Word of God” was an important character that John identifies as “Jesus of Nazareth” in his gospel. While I hope that last post made that point, now I’m going to concentrate more about how the second person of the trinity — who became flesh and was called “Jesus”…
Explaining John 1 – “In the Beginning was the Word”
In the gospel of John, we do not get a birth story of Jesus. Instead, we get a very unique description of Jesus. It is cosmic, not temporal. Here is what we read in the ASV: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same…
The Complete Chronology of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther Fully Explained
In the last post, we ended with a conundrum after correcting a problem in the ESV Study Bible. There is a very clear solution to the chronology of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. The solution is that Ezra and Nehemiah had interactions with King Xerxes (485 B.C. – 465 B.C.), and Esther had interactions with King…
A Glaring Problem and Easy Solution to an ESV Study Bible Contradiction
This post explains the SERIOUS problem I found in the ESV Study Bible and offers a clear solution from Josephus. In the next post, we will explain the source of the problem and the TRUE solution to the entire issue of Biblical Chronology of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther.
Applying the Weird Parts of Scripture – “The Sun Stopped in the Midst of Heaven”
This post is part of a series. The last post explained what the story of Sodom and Gomorrah was really about, applying what we understand with the weird parts of scripture. This post does the same thing. We’re going to explain what is really going on when the sun stands still in Joshua 10. However,…
Applying the Weird Parts of Scripture – Sodom and Gomorrah
This post is going to explain what is going on in Sodom and Gomorrah. I guarantee it is
Irrational Beauty
Regular readers might not know this, but I’m married. And I love my wife. She is spunky, passionate, fun, and loves true-crime murder novels. She is smart and passionate. And she loves me almost as much as she loves our two cats. And you may think that is a complaint, but if you knew how…
Weird Biblical Chronology – The Antediluvian Kings Lists of Genesis
In the previous post, we explained what it means when Noah “leaves the timeline.” Now we’re going to explain another part of the timeline above, namely: what it means that Noah and his family “start to rule as kings.”
Weird Biblical Chronology – Where Did Noah Go In The Ark?
Noah “left the timeline” and “leaving the timeline” means that Noah went to heaven where he was not subject to the normal rules of time. I know how crazy this sounds, but I don’t care. I’m serious, and I’m going to defend it. By the end of this post, my goal is not for you to believe this is any less “crazy,” (because there’s no hope there). Instead, it is merely my goal to show that things that we know are crazy are not as implausible as we previously thought.
The Biblical Chronology of the Weird Parts of Scripture – A Series
There are about 14,00,605 ways the Bible’s chronology doesn’t match what we know about world history. ……but one that does.
Multiple “Sons of God” in a Weird Part of Scripture
This post is a throw-back to my “Weird Parts of Scripture” series. If you’re interested, a while back, I wrote a crazy series that took Atlantis seriously and that spent a lot of time on Noah and the Flood. I even wrote a really fun piece about “Titans” in the Bible, and I followed it…
Motion Alleges Witness Coercion George Floyd Trials
The previous post covered the strange things that seemed to be happening with the jury, and a separate witness intimidation of the Defense’s use-of-force expert. However, that is not the craziest thing to happen in the post-verdict part of the Derek Chauvin case. The craziest thing seems to be what was just revealed in a…
